Table tennis: Swinging the racket billions of times, achieving a grand slam

Chapter 93 [093] Let’s celebrate together when we win, and bear the loss together!

After dinner.

Watching the physical trainer cleaning up the plates and lunch boxes like a nanny, Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang were preparing to take a break.

The two of them haven't laid down yet.

Sudden.

A smug laugh rang out in the corridor outside the room.

Shortly after.

There were a few "click" sounds and the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Jiahao was so proud that he raised his arms and shouted, "Your Grandpa Zhang has made it to the quarterfinals!"

"Mr. Xie, what else do you have to say now?"

At this time, Xie Mingyang was sitting on the bed, tidying up his bedding, and said lightly: "Is the gold content of the top eight in this competition so low? Even people of this level can enter the top eight."

His expression and tone were as calm as the wind and clouds.

This is in stark contrast to Zhang Jiahao, who is as triumphant as a horse.

Zhang Jiahao originally wanted to show off in front of Xie Mingyang.

Unexpectedly, Xie Mingyang's reaction was not only as cold as before, but his words still contained contempt and disdain for himself.

It was like a punch hitting cotton. The opponent was not injured, but he himself dislocated his joint due to excessive force. Zhang Jiahao's good mood was instantly halved.

"Mr. Xie, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Jiahao looked at him coldly.

"Means nothing."

Xie Mingyang took out a pair of Bluetooth headphones and was about to put them into his ears. "I owe you a meal. I'll pay you back when I return home."

That’s all.

Put on your headphones and close your eyes.

No longer pay attention to Zhang Jiahao.

"you……"

Zhang Jiahao hasn't finished speaking yet.

At this time, Li Qian interrupted him and said, "Save some energy to eat. I'm so hungry that I'm seeing stars."

talking.

He walked over quickly, reached out and touched the lunch box; the food was still warm.

Li Qian could no longer hold back and opened all the remaining lunch boxes.

All of a sudden.

The aroma of food filled the room.

As soon as Zhang Jiahao heard the word "eat", his stomach growled twice in cooperation.

His game starts at 11:45.

And now, it's almost one o'clock.

The consumption is already quite high.

In addition, the aroma of the food made her no longer have the energy to continue arguing with Xie Mingyang.

"Leave me some more pickled raw fish."

Zhang Jiahao yelled and pounced forward, together with Li Qian, devouring the food like a wolf, devouring it in no time.

soon.

The remaining boxes of food were all eaten up by the two of them.

"satisfy."

Li Qian burped and a smile of enjoyment appeared on his face.

Followed by.

Chen Jin and Xie Mingyang were called up, and the four of them sat together.

"Xie Mingyang, Zhang Jiahao, there is a men's doubles match this afternoon, you two should put away your tempers."

Li Qian said seriously, "Xie Mingyang, don't forget, you are our captain and you have to take the lead."

"clear."

Xie Mingyang's expression froze, and he straightened his back and nodded seriously.

It seemed that, with the responsibility on his shoulders, he would lead the charge without hesitation even if the sky fell.

"And you, Zhang Jiahao."

Li Qian had a serious expression on his face. “Don’t think that you are great just because you made it to the quarterfinals. You should know that your opponent in the next round is very likely to be Europe’s triple champion, Darko Joczyk.”

Although Darko Jockey’s round of 16 match has not started yet, given his strength, the probability of him advancing to the quarterfinals is very high.

more importantly.

Darko Jockey is in the 8/8 zone. If he advances to the next round, he will definitely meet Zhang Jiahao in the quarterfinals. Hearing that his next opponent is likely to be Darko Jockey, Zhang Jiahao, the second seed in this competition, was immediately less enthusiastic about advancing to the quarterfinals.

“Brother Jin, what do you think is the probability of winning if I run into Darko Jockey?”

Zhang Jiahao asked in a low voice.

"Want to hear the truth?"

"of course."

"The probability of winning is basically zero."

"...Fuck, Brother Jin, aren't you a little too straightforward? Can't you be a little more tactful?"

"piss off!"

Chen Jin rolled his eyes at him.

At this moment.

Li Qian continued, "Although Chen Jin still has two matches today, one mixed doubles and one singles, I'm not worried at all."

"I am more worried about you men's doubles."

The men's doubles match will start at 5:10 pm.

The opponents are Thibault PORET and Alexis KOURAICHI of the French team.

The former just lost to Huang Yen-cheng of Chinese Taipei and fell in the round of 16.

The latter was eliminated early in the round of 32.

Although in terms of singles results, Xie Mingyang and Zhang Jiahao are stronger than their opponents.

But when it comes to unity, there seems to be a big gap.

If Xie Mingyang and Zhang Jiahao could work together, one on the left and one on the right, their chances of winning against this French combination would be very high.

"Teacher Li, don't worry."

Zhang Jiahao patted his chest and said, "I have a clear distinction between public and private matters. As long as someone doesn't hold me back, I will definitely not let you down."

"I can sign a military order on the spot. If I fail, please let my Zhang family ancestors be dug up!"

Seeing his confident look, he seems to be quite reliable.

It even crushed his own ancestral grave.

Li Qian nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Xie Mingyang.

"No matter what competition it is, singles or men's doubles, I will give it my all."

Xie Mingyang said in a deep voice.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Xie Mingyang's character was obvious.

"very good!"

Li Qian clapped his hands, "You two don't have singles today anyway, so let's practice doubles this afternoon and try to win the men's doubles championship."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the six men and women's teams gathered in the training hall.

It just so happens that both of them have to participate in the doubles event, and their competition times are relatively close.

The mixed doubles semi-final between Chen Jin and Li Linghan starts at four o'clock.

The opponents are a multinational duo.

Moreover, the two of them are a perfect match.

"If we win this match, we will be able to enter the mixed doubles final. The championship trophy is waving towards us."

There was no need to worry about the tactics of the mixed doubles match, so Li Qian just drank a lot of chicken soup, "Don't be nervous, follow the rhythm and tactics of your training, I believe that no one can be your opponent."

"come on!"

After high-fiving Li Qian.

Li Linghan took a deep breath, but still could not suppress the nervousness in her heart.

I can even hear the sound of my own heartbeat.

For some reason, she had never been as nervous in singles matches as in mixed doubles.

Maybe it’s because I have a new teammate around me.

This teammate is so strong that he could win the championship no matter who he plays doubles with.

"What if I lose the game because of my mistake..."

Although she had already played a mixed doubles match with Chen Jin, Li Linghan still carried this burden in her heart when she returned to the court.

The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. I felt so depressed that I couldn't breathe.

Dizziness, tinnitus, and pressure are beyond imagination.

"Don't be so nervous."

Just as Li Linghan's palms were sweating, Chen Jin's gentle and warm voice suddenly rang in her ears, "I'm behind you, helping you attack, just focus on the game."

"We celebrate together when we win, and bear the loss together."
